What is Botox/Xeomin?
Botox and Xeomin are FDA approved prescription medications that use a toxin to prevent muscles from moving temporarily. These injections are used to smooth wrinkles on the face, and also can be used for jaw line slimming/reduction. Treatments take around 10-15 minutes with no down time
It works by temporarily weakening the muscles of facial expression that insert onto the surface of the skin. Weakening the pull of these muscles on the skin causes the visible wrinkles to flatten out, thus improving the appearance of wrinkles
Effects of Botox/Xeomin are usually seen within 5 days, but it will take up to 10 days to see the final results from the treatment.
Botox/Xeomin treatment typically lasts up to 6 months
We utilize special injection techniques and equipment to minimize or eliminate the pain of the injection. In fact, most patients are often surprised at how little they felt.
We also have numbing cream and other ways to help with patient comfort.
Xeomin is different from Botox and Dysport in that it does not contain any protein additives when packaged. The potential benefit of this is mainly for the rare patient who stopped responding to Botox treatments because of the development of antibodies to the proteins.
The most common side effects include mild swelling, bruising or pain at the injection site. Other side effects may include flu-like symptoms, nausea and eyelid droop. We will discuss these risks with you in-depth during your consultation.
